Beesley said his organization favors some provisions in the long-stalled drug legislation, and believes there should be some additions. But he added: "Government regulations should not hamstring the medical advances produced by the industry. Disease and death can result from unnecessary delay in permitting a lifesaving ding to reach the public, just as surely as they can result from inadequate government regulation." Despite an end to the picket line in compliance with part of a federal court order, only some of the workers showed up.

HILLS Clarion-Ledger Staff Writer An order calling for an election in the 13th circuit court district within five days, in 48 precincts where balloting has been voided for irregularities in a judge's election, will be automatically stayed by appeal. This became evident Monday afternoon when Judge Malcolm Montgomery, counsel for the declared winner of the judge race announced he would appeal a decision of the State Democratic Executive Committee. The committee, following a several hours hearing in a dispute between Circuit Judge Homer Currie, Raleigh, and Ed Ulmer, Bay Springs, candidate for the judgeship, ordered an election be held in the voided precincts.

Atty. Joel Blass, of Wiggins, who pressed Ulmer's case, maintained that more than half of the precincts in the 90-precinct, four-county district had seen 3,730 voters dis-enfranchised because of irregularities in their boxes Workmen Return To Jobs At Construction Projects WASHINGTON (AP) The United Stales, having created a new radiation belt around the globe, seeks now to determine whether it will delay or otherwise impair the country's Mercury astronaut program. Present evidence indicates that it will not, said a statement by the Defense Department and the Atomic Energy Commission. But they added that they are "making a detailed study to de- itermine possible effects." The radiation belt, largely consisting of high energy electrons, was produced by the high-altitude nuclear device the United Slates exploded in the mid-Pacific July 9. These atomic particles, and the X-rays produced by them, colild be a menace to any spaceman flying through them, unless he were suitably shielded.

Evidence 'Space Twins' Linked Ships WASHINGTON (AP) Aviation Week Magazine reported Monday that there is strong evidence that the Soviet spaceships Vostik III and Vostok IV achieved physical rendezvous while orbiting the earth last week. This evidence is strong enough so it is forcing an extensive re-evlution of both the civilian and military phases of the U. S. space program, the article said. Neither the Soviet nor U.

S. government has said the two spaceships achieved a "docking" while in orbit. "Docking" is the spaceflight term for the joining together of two spaceships in flight. Moscow announced only that the two cosmonauts were in visual contact. The Defense Department refused comment on the magazine's report but the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which conducts the U.

S. civilian space program, denied it knew of any docking. The NASA spokesman added that, available tracking information indicated the two Vostoks never came closer together than 100 miles. Evert Clark, Aviation Week'l Washington bureau chief, said in a television interview with Walter Cromite or CBS that the docking feat may be disclosed by the Russian cosmonauts at a news conference in Moscow Tuesday. he asked to protect Americans from unsafe and ineffective drugs.

Sen. Estes Kefauver, who had offered the stiff reform proposals in the first place, said after the Senate committee action that it had produced, "a very good measure." The legislation would apply not only to new drugs but to those already on druggists' shelves. Drugs already marketed could be withdrawn for a variety of reasons.

The committee approved bill would require manufacturers to: Give substantial evidence that a drug would do the work claimed for it.
